Rust 2022 Halloween Event – Is it Happening? 

While nothing official has been said about a Halloween event, there is a high chance that there will be one this year if last year was any indication. 

In 2021, Rust held their Halloween event, Darkness Falls, which included carvable pumpkins, unique skins, and a Frankenstein monster that you could control with pet commands.
